Fire door replacement in Wokingham

Fire door replacement in Wokingham: what's involved

When you book fire door replacement in Wokingham, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.

Fire doors in Wokingham protect escape routes in care homes, small offices and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

If a door in your Wokingham building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you. If your Wokingham building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references.

Repair or replace?

Plenty of fire door faults can be fixed: worn seals, loose hinges, failed closers, small gaps. Replacement is the right call when the leaf is split, delaminated or badly damaged, when gaps are too large to correct within the manufacturer's guidance, when the door was never a fire door, or when unapproved holes and alterations have been made. We explain the reason for every replacement we recommend. Our repairs page covers what can be fixed.

Each installation includes:

• Assessment of repair versus replacement
• Certified leaf or full doorset
• Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
• Removal and disposal of the old door
